A review by sarahanne8382
The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau
3.0
In the sequel to The City of Ember Lina, Doon, and the people of Ember has escaped their dying underground city, only to enter into a new world where so many things are strange to them. Luckily they come upon the prosperous town of Sparks, which is willing to take the Emberites in, but only for a six months while they learn how to create their own town. Tensions run high as the people of Ember and Sparks learn to coexist.
This one was a hard read for me. In the end I thought the story was good, but I think as an adult it was painful to read the conflict unfolding so slowly, and I have lower tolerance for conflicts that the reader sees coming long before the characters in the story. I'm going to move on to the next two books in the series, and then I'll decide if the series as a whole is worth reading.
